Book excerpt: Excerpt from Military English, Official Correspondence, Orders, Messages, and Reports for Use in Courses Allied to Instruction in Military Science and Tactics, 1918 In view of the fact that English Composition has been recognized as one of the courses of training essential to the soldiers and officers of the United States Military Forces, it becomes the duty of English teachers to modify their instruction so as to conform to the recommendation made by the War Department Committee on Education in the Special Descriptive Circular on English (C. b. 6-Sept. 24). The authors have sought to prepare a brief book to meet the second of the requirements named in the War Department circular - drill in correspondence and report writing and their adaptation to the needs of the military organization. The most direct purpose which the book will serve is to teach the soldier student, or prospective officer, how to write the correspondence, orders, messages, and reports which will be required of him, and which he will be called upon to understand even if he does not write them. The book gives instructions, models, and exercises which cover those parts of paperwork which require composition. Throughout the chapters emphasis is laid on the essential features of military language, on clearness, brevity, and precision. The last chapter contains many famous orders which illustrate those qualities of a leader's style which make for the upbuilding of morale. For many of the forms used to illustrate operation orders the authors express their cordial thanks to members of the French Military Mission, and particularly to Captain Andre Morize and Lieutenant R. Coube. Certain forms used in recent training were supplied by the courtesy of General M. B. Stewart and Colonel Edward Croft. The field messages, reports, and diary are censored documents from an American Machine Gun Company, written during the third German offensive this spring. For permission to use them, the authors are indebted to Major Herbert C. Earnshaw, now Commanding Officer of the Columbia Unit, S. A. T. C.

Army, and First Lt. Geo; Ihrie, Late U. S. Army: With the U. S. War Department, and Subsequent Personal Correspondence Regularity of transmission was, in this flagrant case, purposely sacrificed by me to "irregularity," for the purpose of stopping further abuse of authority. I only regret I did not, at the time, "irregularly" report to the Commander-in-Chief, Harney's use of United States transportation, in furtherance of his scheme of peculation. George Ihrie, Late United States Army. Headquarters, Department of Oregon, Fort Vancouver, W. T., December 9, 1859. Colonel: I have the honor to return Colonel Merchant's communication and enclosure, with the following explanation, in connexion with the enclosed copies of letters from these headquarters to the commander of Fort Vancouver, dated July 23, and August 4, 1859. It is proper on this occasion to call the attention of the War Department to the three officers whose reports Colonel Merchant considers irregular. First Lieutenant George Ihrie, who temporarily commanded "B" and "D" companies, has since tendered his resignation, and I trust, for the honor of the service, it has been accepted. This resignation was hastened by the fact of an officer having testified before the general court-martial which assembled for the trial of First Lieutenant Lyman M. Kellog, 3d artillery, that he would not believe Lieutenant Ihrie under oath, in any matter in which he was at all interested. The general opinion of Lieutenant Ihrie's character, with those in the service who know him, is but little better than that above recorded. I am, Colonel, very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. S. Harney, Brigadier General Commanding. Col. S. Cooper, Adj. Gen. U. S. A. Washington, D. C. St. Louis, Mo., July 29, 1860. Col. S. Cooper, Adj't Gen. U. S. A. Sir: In the "official correspondence of Brigadier General Harney relating to the affairs of the Department of Oregon," published by Congress, is a letter to you, dated December 9, 1859, containing the following statement in regard to me, viz: "I trust, for the honor of the service. Lieutenant Ihrie's resignation has been accepted. This resignation was hastened by the fact of an officer having testified before the general court martial which assembled for the trial of First Lieutenant L. M. Kellogg, 3d artillery, that he would not believe Lieutenant Ihrie under oath, in any matter in which he was at all interested.

Download or read book A Historical Review and Analysis of Army Physical Readiness Training and Assessment written by Whitfield East and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Drillmaster of Valley Forge-Baron Von Steuben-correctly noted in his "Blue Book" how physical conditioning and health (which he found woefully missing when he joined Washington's camp) would always be directly linked to individual and unit discipline, courage in the fight, and victory on the battlefield. That remains true today. Even an amateur historian, choosing any study on the performance of units in combat, quickly discovers how the levels of conditioning and physical performance of Soldiers is directly proportional to success or failure in the field. In this monograph, Dr. Whitfield "Chip" East provides a pragmatic history of physical readiness training in our Army. He tells us we initially mirrored the professional Armies of Europe as they prepared their forces for war on the continent. Then he introduces us to some master trainers, and shows us how they initiated an American brand of physical conditioning when our forces were found lacking in the early wars of the last century. Finally, he shows us how we have and must incorporate science (even when there exists considerable debate!) to contribute to what we do-and how we do it-in shaping today's Army. Dr. East provides the history, the analysis, and the pragmatism, and all of it is geared to understanding how our Army has and must train Soldiers for the physical demands of combat. Our culture is becoming increasingly ''unfit," due to poor nutrition, a lack of adequate and formal exercise, and too much technology. Still, the Soldiers who come to our Army from our society will be asked to fight in increasingly complex and demanding conflicts, and they must be prepared through new, unique, and scientifically based techniques. So while Dr. East's monograph is a fascinating history, it is also a required call for all leaders to better understand the science and the art of physical preparation for the battlefield. It was and is important for us to get this area of training right, because getting it right means a better chance for success in combat.
Download or read book Command Of The Air written by General Giulio Douhet and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer BACKBONE of the Armed Forces. Introduction The Backbone of the Armed Forces To be a member of the United States Armed Forces--to wear the uniform of the Nation and the stripes, chevrons, or anchors of the military Services--is to continue a legacy of service, honor, and patriotism that transcends generations. Answering the call to serve is to join the long line of selfless patriots who make up the Profession of Arms. This profession does not belong solely to the United States. It stretches across borders and time to encompass a culture of service, expertise, and, in most cases, patriotism. Today, the Nation's young men and women voluntarily take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and fall into formation with other proud and determined individuals who have answered the call to defend freedom. This splendid legacy, forged in crisis and enriched during times of peace, is deeply rooted in a time-tested warrior ethos. It is inspired by the notion of contributing to something larger, deeper, and more profound than one's own self. Notice: This is a printed Paperback version of the "The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer BACKBONE of the Armed Forces". Full version, All Chapters included. This publication is available (Electronic version) in the official website of the National Defense University (NDU). This document is properly formatted and printed as a perfect sized copy 6x9".
Download or read book Bringing Order to Chaos written by Peter J Schifferle Editor and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 2, Bringing Order to Chaos: Combined Arms Maneuver in Large Scale Combat Operations, opens a dialogue with the Army. Are we ready for the significantly increased casualties inherent to intensive combat between large formations, the constant paralyzing stress of continual contact with a peer enemy, and the difficult nature of command and control while attempting division and corps combined arms maneuver to destroy that enemy? The chapters in this volume answer these questions for combat operations while spanning military history from 1917 through 2003. These accounts tell the challenges of intense combat, the drain of heavy casualties, the difficulty of commanding and controlling huge formations in contact, the effective use of direct and indirect fires, the need for high quality leadership, thoughtful application of sound doctrine, and logistical sustainment up to the task. No large scale combat engagement, battle, or campaign of the last one hundred years has been successful without being better than the enemy in these critical capabilities. What can we learn from the past to help us make the transition to ready to fight tonight?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 5, Deep Maneuver: Historical Case Studies of Maneuver in Large-Scale Combat Operations, presents eleven case studies from World War II through Operation Iraqi Freedom focusing on deep maneuver in terms of time, space and purpose. Deep operations require boldness and audacity, and yet carry an element of risk of overextension - especially in light of the independent factors of geography and weather that are ever-present. As a result, the case studies address not only successes, but also failure and shortfalls that result when conducting deep operations. The final two chapters address these considerations for future Deep Maneuver.
